"Bold, industrial and nearly indestructible, the Tanker desk was most often confined to utilitarian uses in mid-century Americana. Today its streamlined craftsmanship earns a whole new appreciation amongst collectors and designers who are restoring this well-built classic and updating its look with modern hues.

Since 1946, the Tanker desk has been manufactured the same way - a double pedestal base, made of thick gauge steel with a natural, brushed finish. Sturdy, reliable and practically immortal, the Tanker was the largest selling commercial desk in the world and well suited for schools, offices and governmental institutions up until the 1970's.
